Experiences

A place to stay.
A world to explore.

Do everything or nothing at all. The garden, the pool and the shore are always open, and our team can arrange the rest.

Pool & garden

Shade, water, repeat

A curved pool under old trees, bamboo loungers and a lawn that runs down to the sea. Swim before breakfast, read in the shade, nap in the afternoon.

The pool and garden are for your group only, all day.

The beach

Where the sun rises from the sea

Our beach faces the sunrise. Take your coffee down to the nipa hut at first light and watch the sun climb out of the sea as the sky turns gold. Then a swim, a walk along the shore, or volleyball on the lawn until evening.

Beach activities can be arranged on request.

Dolphins, reefs and baby turtles

The sea in front of the house is full of life. Dolphins live in these waters, and the coral reefs nearby are some of the best spots on the coast for snorkelling and diving.

Fishing is a local favourite: head out with a local boatman early in the morning and bring your catch back to grill for lunch.

Right on our doorstep, a turtle hatchery raises baby sea turtles and releases them into the sea.

Boat trips, fishing, snorkelling and diving with trusted local boatmen, on request. Ask us about the best season.

Back to nature

Our small farm is home to chickens, pigs, goats and cattle. Children from the city can meet the animals up close and see where their food comes from. For many, it's the highlight of the stay.

Depending on the season, we serve fruit fresh from the farm: mangoes, calamansi, papayas, bananas and coconuts straight from the palm.

Hiking & birdwatching

Into the green hills

Just inland, the hills are covered in tropical jungle, and the trails are easy enough for beginners. Climb for wide views over the coast, cool off under a waterfall and listen for the many birds that live in the forest.

Ask us for our favourite trails.
